I sit down Dan’l Anselmo who is an expert in Bow Design & DIY hunting. He is a lead R&D engineer for 21 yrs and has seen some of the best evolutions in archery gear. He’s been part of projects specializing in Limbs, Cams, Risers and materials. Dan’l is a 3rd generation DIY hunter who has a healthy resume of Big Elk & Massive Mule Deer. I’ve known Dan’l since his first year at Hoyt and have a tremendous amount of respect for his deep understanding of the mechanics of the compound bow. We jump into subjects that I feel aren’t discussed enough about the “why” of certain design characteristics and gear choices. We also jump into some of his tactics of hunting the west during the opening weeks. He has some great information that he shares about tagging big deer that’s handed down to him from the yoda Randy Ulmer.

Josh is a West Coast archer and has a long background in archery.  Ive wanted to have a conversation with him about the evolution of archery content and retail. We finally meet up to have a conversation about the archery industries evolution, early years in the shop, chasing Apple to Apple standards, getting old, staying on pace with social media, the new Nock On HQ and of course who had the Mohawk first.

This Podcast is with Paige Pearce who has been on an archery range since the week after she was born. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Paige who’s continuing to dominate multiple styles of archery competitions. She won most majors across the globe and continues to juggle her passion for bowhunting and education while competing. We dive into so many topics relating to mentors, the mental game, fundamentals, elite level competition, some archery history and much more.

This podcast is with one of the leading ladies of the bowhunting community who has climbed the ladder in the industry. I’ve gained a lot of respect for Jessica just in the decade I’ve seen her in the industry. I think it’s important that more women and youth get into the outdoors but more importantly, stay there. Jess takes me down her timeline of her first hunts with her dad to being mentored by one of mine as well. This is a great podcast discussing personal pressure, growing up in bowhunting and unlocking new doors in the industry. Jessica is currently the Brand Relations Manager for Montana Knife Company.

This Podcast is with PJ Reilly from Lancaster Archery Supply. PJ is very a familiar face in the archery industry and such an addictive personality. He’s covered more pro events as a commentator than I can remember. We talked about our upcoming takeover event and then I got to know more about Lancaster County and the OG archery spots.

This podcast is a must listen for the archery community. I’m speaking with James Yates who is an Engineer, Backcountry Outdoorsman, Technical Writer, Husband/Father and Accomplished Hunter. James is fascinated with archery accuracy and forgiveness and finding non bias information that will help those who need it in the archery community.

An inside look at the 2025 HOYT Bow Lineup with Brian Gold.

Get ready to dive deep down an archery rabbit hole!

Brian has a lifetime of archery under his belt. Gold started out worked in archery retail for 6 years in high school and through college as department manager why chasing an engineering degree. Through this he developed a passion for archery and the industry as a whole. Since graduating college in engineering he went straight to Hoyt and worked through the ranks from the bottom to the Engineering Manager.

A podcast with an industry mogul Nick Mundt from Bone Collector. I first met Nick when he was hired as Bill Jordan’s camera guy over 20 years ago. We were both in Montana for monster bucks 10. Nick was so damn funny and such a great hunter and guide. It was a pleasure knowing him before having a name for himself. Over the years he has carved his name into bowhunting history with all the great content as one of the triple threat Bone Collectors. I wanted to catch up with Nick following a TAC event and talk about old times and talk about broadheads with someone who knows how to stack them up!

This podcast is with Hoyt President Zak Kurtzhals. We talk past, present and future of our friendship, competition trail and time in the industry. We recorded this hours before the announcement that I was returning home to Hoyt for my next chapter in archery. Zak has an amazing story starting at Hoyt as an accessories engineer and working up the ladder as lead engineer and then President. I felt like this would be a good listen for the nock nation to understand where we came from and why returning to friends and alliances is so important.

In this podcast I spill my guts to the Archery Community about what my plans are moving forward and what bow will be in my hand. I thought it was time to walk our faithful friends through my timeline in the industry. Where it started. Where I’ve been. Where I’m going and the why’s! I’m truly blessed to have 30 years in the industry and I wanted you all to know what has led me to the choices moving forward! Many of these topics I haven’t said publicly but it’s an important part of who I am and I wanted to be as transparent as possible with the Nock On Nation.
